General Information

How to book

We recommend a stay of least 3 nights at Tortilis Camp, ie two full days to explore Amboseli and take advantage of walks, sundowners …

Creating a safari needs specialist consultation with local knowledge, it is not the same as booking a stay in a city hotel. If you include in your enquiry your location we can recommend a reputable upmarket tour operator close to you.

Communication in camp

Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the camp by a Vsat system. Mobile phone network is available in reception with limited coverage in other areas. We request guests to refrain from using mobile phones in the public areas.

Malaria

At 4000ft with cool nights, Tortilis Camp can be considered malaria free.

Tipping guide

Although a long standing safari tradition, staff tips are at guest’s discretion. Tips for the lodge staff are collected at a central tip box, then distributed evenly to all staff members, so that even those behind the scenes receive acknowledgement of a job well done. A recommended amount is US$ 5-10 per guest per night. Guides are tipped separately and directly (same recommendation of US$5-10 per guest per day).

Power in camp

Tortilis Camp generates it own power with 100% solar. The first safari lodge of it’s size to do so. It operates an invertor system which supplies the tents with power for lighting 24hrs. Client batteries can be charged in the tents and at the bar, and the gamedrive vehicles have invertors to charge camera batteries. The system cannot support hairdryers in the tents, although there is a hairdryer that can be used at the swimming pool changing room. Sockets are 3pin square English, so guests are recommended to bring universal plug adaptors.
